Re: waterway glide vs. leaderfins hyper

Well it's official, your amazing depths are being achieved inspite of your fin instead of as a result of it. Have you posted any of that to Hyperfins and if so what was their response?....right up there with the pics I posted of my Glide fin.

After having my Hyperfin repaired (it arrived with 4 major damage areas and was not the dimensions I had ordered) I have added water guides (see pic) to try and reduce the v-folding. It didnt help unfortunately. The worst part of the v fold is not the tip bend but the fact that it creates a non bending line down the centre of the fin. You only have to try and hold up a piece of paper at one end with and without a fold to see what I mean (pics also attached.)
